Iron control chemicals are used during acid stimulation to prevent the precipitation of iron-containing compounds. The precipitation of these compounds in the critical near-wellbore area can decrease well productivity or injectivity. Acetic acid, citric acid, NTA, EDTA, and erythorbic acid are applied [1726,1727]. A time dependence of iron (IQ) hydroxide precipitation...

Peroxyl radicals are the species that propagate autoxidation of the unsaturated fatty acid residues of phospholipids (50). In addition, peroxyl radicals are intermediates in the metabolism of certain drugs such as phenylbutazone (51). Epoxidation of BP-7,8-dihydrodiol has been detected during lipid peroxidation induced in rat liver microsomes by ascorbate or NADPH and during the peroxidatic oxidation of phenylbutazone (52,53). These findings suggest that peroxyl radical-mediated epoxidation of BP-7,8-dihydrodiol is general and may serve as the prototype for similar epoxidations of other olefins in a variety of biochemical systems. In addition, peroxyl radical-dependent epoxidation of BP-7,8-dihydrodiol exhibits the same stereochemistry as the arachidonic acid-stimulated epoxidation by ram seminal vesicle microsomes. This not only provides additional...

The long-chain fatty acids stimulate the secretion of cholecystokinin, which increases secretion of gastric lipase (i.e. positive feedback). 

Many sites of exposure to bile in the body are associated with the development of cancer, e.g. the oesophagus, gallbladder and bile duct, pancreas, small intestine and colon (reviewed in ref. 2). One explanation for increased cancer at these sites could be that bile acids stimulate carcinogenesis via DNA-damaging effects. This chapter provides an overview of research conducted in relation to establishing the genotoxic and carcinogenic effects of bile acids. 

In fish, certain odorants activate specific glomeruli in the olfactory bulb. Amino acids stimulate glomeruli in the lateral region of the bulb, while glomeruli in the medial region of the bulb process information on bile acids (Yoshihara etah, 2001). 

In stark contrast, the second historically significant anti-cancer drug, methotrexate, originated from nutritional research. The observation that the vitamin folic acid stimulated prohferation of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells in children prompted synthesis of folate analogues. In the late 1940s methotrexate became the first drug to induce remissions in children with ALL [11]. 

Pharmacology Exogenous folate is required for nucleoprotein synthesis and maintenance of normal erythropoiesis. Folic acid stimulates production of red and white blood cells and platelets in certain megaloblastic anemias. 

Increased blood levels of these nutrients, especially glucose and amino acids, stimulate the pancreas to release insulin and suppress glucagon release. 

Insulin action and the availability of adequate energy and amino acids stimulate net synthesis of muscle protein, with suppression of protein degradation.
